VISIT PIEZO 2023

Whether you require a piezo component or an integrated assembly – PI Ceramic has the right solution ready for you.

Piezo components are manufactured from different piezo ceramic materials, each precisely tuned to your application. Further modifications of the elements, such as very fine holes, structured ceramic surfaces, and even complex, three-dimensional contours can be produced individually. PI Ceramic also performs the integration of piezo elements into the customer product. This includes both the electrical contacting of the elements according to customer requirements and the mounting of components provided by the customer, as well as the gluing or the casting of the piezo ceramics. For the customer, this means an accelerated manufacturing process and shorter lead times.

Piezoceramic components are ideally suited for the generation and detection of vibrations in the smallest of areas – miniaturized piezo components make use of exactly this quality in their application. Thanks to their compact design, they can be used in medical devices for minimally invasive therapy, for example for intravascular lithotripsy or targeted drug release.

With the help of miniaturized piezo elements, adaptive fine adjustments of small optical elements used in semiconductor or silicon photonics applications, for example lenses, mirrors, or exit areas of optical fibers, can be made.

Small piezo elements can also be used to generate highly precise and fast motion. Piezo tubes provide radial displacement or, when controlled in segments, motion on the XY level, making them suitable for application in >> precision dosing or scanning fiber endoscopy. In SFE, the piezoceramics act as miniature scanners or as alignment systems for controlling an optical signal. Bending actuators achieve relatively large displacements in similar applications even over the smallest surface.
